British
Regiments in the Canadian Rebellions of 1837-1838Compiled by Robert
Henderson

Uniforms for the Regiments
serving in the Rebellions of the 1837-38 were in a state of transition.
In late 1836
it was ordered that regimental lace was to be discontinued and replaced with white.
However this change did not appear in British North America until the spring
issue of clothing of 1838.
